MAKING THE ROCKS FLY.

The blasting on the West Virginia rail-
road Just east of MargantOwn, continues
with undated vigor. But few buildings
or fences in that vicinity are unmarked by
the flying missiles. Last Monday an I'M
mense wad of earth was blown across the
creek and through the roof of Jerry Jo-
seph's mill, making hole about six feet
square, swapping rafters and other timbers
as though they were egg shells. Besides
this there are numerous smaller holes in
the mill, and many bruises all over 1t.
Frequently pieces of stone of considerable
size are thrown into town and several
houses bear their marks. Fortunately no
one has been hurt by them and there Is
little complaint. The people OF Morgan
town are so anxious to See the road built
that they will submit to almost anything
that would seem like encouraging it.

The county affairs are attended to
bv court of commissioners, presided
over by the county JUICE. AS speci.
men of how business Is done the TO-
port of the late superintendent of the
Poor Farm is reproduced. which in
substance is as follows:
Productivity bales of cotton, 1860
dollars; GO bushels of wheat, 300 dol
lars; 5000 bushels Of corn, 1900 dol
lars; 5, hogs. 200 dollars; II calves,
loo dollars; total, AGO dollars.

Goo dollars; guards. 44o dollars; ma
iron, 80 dollars; physician, 800 dol
lars; total expense, 249, dollars; profit
to the county, 1920 dollars.
There is system in this county Of
working the county convicts on the
highways; Migrants and small crimi-
nails are sent by tho justices Of the
peace, when they are unable to pay
their fines, to the county farm; these
are taken in charge by competent
parties and are put to work on the
highways, and the result of this sys-
TEN of working county convicts re-
suited last year as follows: 1t is esti-
mated that they built 10000 dollars
worth of roads in 1886. These roads
furnish the farmers good road to
town, and the merchant as well was
benefited. The cost OF guarding,
clothing and feeding these convicts,
and the miles they worked, together
with the interest on the investment on
the animals and machinery amounted
to ADO dollars, showing net profit
to the county of 15,25o dollars.

Mrs. Breckenridge, the wife of the Kentucky

man, liked the idea, TOO. One day | woke
up and found myself column and half

cut patterns for him as well as we could.

said she was one of the original wearers of

odd and they don't know what else to put
on"
And what do you think of the prospect
of final success"
''Of course l can't tell but they look
bright just now. Nothing was ever less
sought than the prominence this has thrust
me into. / was satisfied with clothing fly

my husband, but if it is to be apublic work,
l may do some real good to a few other
women at least"

those you advocate now!"
Eyes; but it would not do to advance
them. One must win people, not repulse
them. For my own part, believe the dress
of the future woman will be very beautiful
and very graceful dress, but not altogether
according to our present ideas. l believe
our limbs were made for practical use, and
that in a couple of centuries or SO women
will wear no drapery at least below the
knee. But that is wholly a thing of the
future. / shouldn't think of advocating
it because it wouldn't be practicable
now"
A pattern agency for the manufacture

suits the new dress reformer will bring

A French Thermometer has been devised
of such sensitiveness that it will even de

nearly two inches, the entrance of person
into the room where it is placed, and by
putting the hand near the bulb the needle
is DETECTED the whole extent of the gradu-

tube, carrying at one end a bulb which is
coated externally with lamp black. The
tube is filled to a certain extent with mer-
curry and is supported by arms pivoting on
a steel knife blade. Just above the pivot is
fixed an index needle which moves across a
graduated arc, and beneath the pivot hangs
a rod, to which is attached by friction a
small weight that serves TO balance the
needle so as to cause IL TO point 10 zero on
the arc. When the temperature rises, be it
ever so slightly, the heat being absorbed by
the lampblack dilates the air in the bulb and
drives the mercury forward. The centre Of
